“Michael Winner’s most accomplished film. It is never out of control…a tough, exciting, cloak-and-dagger adventure…the plot exudes a fortuitous whiff of Watergate with something more than mere panache.” – Margaret Hinxman, Sunday Telegraph

“A labyrinthine network of international double agents and double crosses…Unlike most action-and-violence movies, Scorpio is best when the characters are merely talking.”
– Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Three legendary actors – Burt Lancaster, Paul Scofield, and Alain Delon – star in director Michael Winner’s Scorpio (1973), an action-packed tale of espionage, friendship, and betrayal. Lancaster is a CIA agent marked for death by his own boss, with the added wrinkles that the assassin on his trail is a young former protégé (Delon) and the one man who offers him help is his Soviet opposite number (Scofield). Featuring a superb score by Jerry Fielding, available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.

I think that "Scorpio" was an exciting and amazing classic film with a lot of entertaining, exciting and enjoyable action, mystery and suspense and I also think that "Scorpio" was one of the greatest classic films of all-time and it was also one of my favorite films of all-time with a creative and original storyline as well.
